On any given night The Man could make a highlight reel catch. Carlos has always been an exceptional defensive outfielder, but last year had an exceeding good season and finished with a 7.6 fWAR. That was higher than Braun had in 2011 (7.2 fWAR) & 2012 (7.5 fWAR)! Way to go Carlos!

So I don't have the numbers completely right. I remember seeing some stat that the brewers were 3rd in the MLB in runs saved with around 55 or something. Carlos Gomez , if I remember correctly contributed 46 of those runs saved.

A great defensive play is more exciting to see than any home run. Gomez has been great to watch and with his improvements at the plate has a chance to be an All-star. I'm sure the Brewer Pitching staff love his ability to track down what would be hits for most CF's His level of effort even during a down year last year seem to resonate with the fans. I do hope he limits some of the risky plays that result in injuries. he is needed every day for the Brewers to be successful.
